PETERSBURG -- Standing off to the side of the Tropicana Field press conference room, waiting his turn to speak, Jackson Chourio perked up late Monday night when a reporter asked about his virtues as the Brewers’ leadoff hitter, as their 22-year-old engine, as their resident agent of chaos. When

ST. PETERSBURG -- The rebuilt Tropicana Field roof technically contained the Brewers. Absolutely nothing else has. When the World Series shifted to St. Pete for Game 3 on Monday night, the Rays had faith that they had been beaten but not creamed in the Cream City, had belief that Freddy

ST. PETERSBURG -- The World Series has returned to Tropicana Field, and so has Joe Maddon.
